Abstract excerpt
Abdominal-B (Abd-B) mutants of the bithorax-complex (BX-C) were studied in trans with tuh-3 to evaluate their interactions with this homeotic mutant and the maternal effect locus (tuh-1) controlling tuh-3 expression. Head defects occur in tuh-3 offspring from tuh-1h homozygous mothers, while genital defects occur in homozygous tuh-3 offspring from mothers carrying the tuh-1g allele. The influence exerted by the...
